This could be true. But this type of stuff is easily faked.

Again. Guy who leaked yakuza etc titles before pointed out design sketches and said they are real, so very high probability

Nah they have already have started work on the expansion to Persona 6 they will sell for full price 18 months after the original release.

Was there ever any doubt? That's like saying it'll be a turn-based JRPG.

That is just what Persona is. People need to stop trying to forcing core series features / themes into something more suitable for them.

Big downgrade. This looks more like party member I neglect rather than MC.
What other setting would you expect a Persona game to take place in?

Persona never had particularly strong character designs anyway. The only P5 party member that stood out to me was Makoto.

I was on board with high school until they made it weird in 5 by allowing you to date much older adults like your teacher or Takemi the doctor.
I was just weirded out when a licensed physician with years of practice came into the freakin' attic of a café where a teenage boy lives. Then before the not-so-subtle sex scenes she went "so, your guardian isn't here?"
Nah, that was just wrong and strange in a bad way. At this point, make the protagonist a young adult with their own place.
I even think they changed the consent laws in Japan that would make the Kawakami relationship straight-up illegal too, or it might have always been since she's your teacher and likely around a decade older.

Male: He looks ok. Appreciate blonde hair. I can see him wearing wig, and pretending to be a girl at some point.
Female: I like hairstyle. A lot of R34 potential.
Overall, concept art is usually plain, boring, and it often feels and looks much more uninspired than in action.

I'm retarded?
Another sissified protagonist just like in Metaphor. Meh.

My only commentary on this is I appreciate the Twin Peaks like approach of showing the illegal / grey area stuff in society that hides in plain sight.
Are they portraying inappropriate / illegal things? Yes. But do these things ACTUALLY happen in real life? Absolutely.
So I don't think things should be off limits just because it isn't legal. Just as long as they don't cross a line in their portrayal of it, which they don't.

I just can't wait. Can someone draw a calling card to send to Atlus to change their heart and reveal the game ASAP?

Yeah, they won't show sex scenes, obviously. And it's not a "grey area". A 20-something teacher cannot date their underage student, even in Japan.

I didn't call that a "grey area", I said the games shouldn't be banned from displaying "illegal / grey area things". That is clearly illegal. Don't intentionally twist what I am saying on a serious topic.

I focused mainly on the grey area part, my bad. I wonder how much uproar there would have been if it were an adult male teacher and a female student. Likely a lot more because of the whole Kamoshida abuse thing.
Whatever the case, I think this is the first Persona where you're allowed to date much older adults. If you're gonna do that, just remove the high school angle or make them a legal adult somehow. It would even strengthen the narrative as my suspension of disbelief (yes, even for a ridiculous power fantasy JRPG) was seriously challenged when a damn hot doctor went to the attic where a 16-year-old kid lives to have sex with him lol. That's somehow even more ridiculous than the rest of the game.

Lots of people in this thread outing themselves as never playing a Persona game then proceeding to comment as if they know what they're talking about. Ahh yes cause this franchise is known for having the manliest of manly men main characters and definitely doesn't have bishonen boy androgynous main characters.

I would LOVE to get a Persona where the characters are in their 30's or 40's.
I'm more hyped for P4R than P6 at this point though. Would be very strange to get both in 2027.
Have they said that P6 is going to be the final version and that there won't be a Royal/Golden/etc version a year later?

Looks nice if real.
Sense of shape feels like Soejima's art. If it's fake they did a good job, but I'm leaning towards real.

Yeah, that just doesn't work at all for the MC. It's fine for the side character (ex. P3 Bebe).
